NEW DATA AFFIRMS WIDESPREAD SUPPORT FOR BIRTH CONTROL, IVF, AND ABORTION: A new survey from Navigator shows 4 in 5 Americans support Congress passing legislation to protect contraception access. Congress could have done this just last week…but instead, politicians hostile to sexual and reproductive rights blocked the bipartisan effort. The majority of Americans also believe that both IVF and abortion should be legal — with 77 percent and 65 percent support respectively.

Research also found a majority of Americans could not support an elected official who supports banning abortion, IVF, or contraception. Protecting access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care is essential to ensuring all people can make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. Sixty-seven percent of respondents also understand that the right to abortion remains at risk.

ICYMI: TRUMP ALIGNS WITH HOSTILE GROUP THAT WANTS ABORTION “ERADICATED”: Donald Trump once again proves that he will say and do anything to get elected. The GOP presidential candidate and convicted felon spent his Monday with the Danbury Institute, a far-right group that vehemently wants to eliminate access to abortion and opposes LGBTQ+ equality. Jenny Lawson, executive director for Planned Parenthood Votes, responded to the news saying:
“Trump may flip-flop on abortion and say whatever he thinks will get him elected, but his actions speak louder…Donald Trump is vowing to work ‘side by side’ with the Danbury Institute — a fanatical, far-right organization whose mission is to ‘eradicate’ abortion entirely, and calls this essential health care the ‘greatest atrocity’ and ‘child sacrifice.’ With allies like these, you can’t trust Trump with your freedoms but you can trust his disastrous record on abortion…There is no limit to the lengths he will go to get back in the Oval Office — and that includes trampling on all our rights, our democracy, and everything we hold dear.”
